Parents: Join us for a Freshman Parent Coffee on Orientation Day

After dropping off your freshman on Wednesday morning, please join members of the Bishop Chatard Trinity Club for a cup of coffee and breakfast pastry, and an opportunity to meet other parents of the Class of 2029.

We will gather in the softball pavilion. After dropping your student at Door 10, please drive around and park in the northeast area of the parking lot. We look forward to celebrating the beginning of your child’s high school career at BCHS!

Students will be reporting to school at specific times according to class. At orientation, students will gather in the main gym for a brief class meeting, have their school photo taken, pick up their yearbook and parking pass (if applicable). They will access their lockers to receive their class schedule, and have the opportunity to get into their school locker where they will obtain their yearbook, class t-shirt, and school planners. Once a student has had their photo taken and collected their items from their locker, they are free to be dismissed. The Guidance Office will be open for students who might have scheduling questions.
